[James Hunt]

1) Edit->preferences
2) click General
3) observer that general options are shown
4) click Tabs or Content and notice that window continues to show general options (however long you wait).

James,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Presumably this problem is no longer an issue? Can this bug report now be closed?

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
